Need information on sun ethernet

Question

Hi All
I wanted some information on the device convention in solaris .
We have a E4500 server having two ethernet port , one of them is hme0 and we are not able to figure whats the name of the other so that we can use it to connect another cable to the backbone to speed up the system
below is the result of prtconf on the system
SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
SUNW,hme, instance #1
SUNW,fas, instance #1
we are not able to figure out what is the naming convention for the fas instance .
even ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.192.0.239 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 10.192.255.255
ether 8:0:20:8a:6d:6b
please advice
